This flyer captures KISS live at Cobo Arena on Saturday, February 18 at 8:00 P.M. with special guest Vandenberg (great band) and Heaven opening the show. The design says everything about early 80s arena rock. Big logo. Strong faces. Direct information. No extra noise. Fans did not need much convincing.

The ticket prices stand out right away. Eleven dollars and fifty cents or ten dollars and fifty cents to walk into one of the biggest live acts of the decade. Tickets sold at local outlets and box offices, which meant making the trip in person and hoping seats were still available.

What makes flyers like this special is how local they feel. The radio station partnership. The arena name printed proudly. The sense that this show belonged to the city for one night before moving on to the next stop.

Did you ever see KISS during the early 80s?

I can't say I've seen them, but KISS was a major force in the early 80s rock scene. Their live shows were legendary, known for elaborate stage effects and theatrical performances. The Cobo Arena in Detroit was a frequent stop for them, adding to the local excitement. Flyers like this one capture the essence of the era—bold, straightforward, and all about the music experience. The ticket prices are a nostalgic reminder of a time when live music was more accessible.
